HERE seems to be some agitation for a Dean of Men for « Trojan campus. This is un-ubtedly one of the wisest un-^rtakmgs that the Administra-n could take. There is a need such a position especially with number of men's organiza-ns on the campus. True, there no men's dormitory over which Dean of Men could hold juris-tion, but there are enough oth-problems granting the need of “ean.

t present Dean Karl Waugh of Lib-J Arts is acting in that capacity, n Waugh has had considerable ex-ience in handling the affairs of the :n students, he thoroughly under-mds their problems and is a fair unbiased individual. The need of IDcan of men has become evident ing the past semester.

IV s Collegiate To Hoboe in Summertime
Every College has its hoboes. In the summer time they migrate, via the brake beams of a freight car, to the harvest fields, or travel to seaports to ship out as deck hands or coal passers. During the semester they spend their week-ends hitch-hiking, or on the “blind baggage” of passenger cars.
Last year, at Oberlin, one of these modern scholar gypsies conducted a seminar in hoboing. For a small consideration he initiated beginners in the occult art of Vagabondage. They were given courses in both freight and passenger bumming.
At Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, a Hoboes Club was organized a year ago. The president is known as Regal Rod Rider; the vice president, Duke o’ the Dust; the secretary, Holder of the Jack.
The qualification for membership of this club is that the prospective member shall have hoboed 1000 miles since last June. Membership in the club is limited to 25 persons.
ANNUAL JUNIOR PLAY TRY-8UTSJPEN NOW
Two Casts May be Chosen for The Goose Hangs High,” According to Production Mgrs.
Tryouts which were held yesterday for “The Goose Hangs High,” the annual junior play, revealed much hidden talent in the class of ’27, according to the director. Tryouts will continue today and tomorrow in order to secure the best possible talent.
Ellswrorth Ross, production manager of Southern California, stated that probably two casts wrould be chosen in order that juniors interested in stage work will be given the value of. experience. This will be of great help to the University students, and it is the first time in the history of Southern California that a system of this nature has been tried.
Mrs. Sarah Taft Teschke, director of the play, said that she was very much pleased with the turnout, and was confident of a splendid performance by the Juniors this year. Mrs. Teschke is well known throughout Southern California for her success with U. S. C. productions.
“The Goose Hangs High” has won considerable praise throughout the United States as a high comedy. It was so successful on the stage that the Paramount Motion Picture Company filmed it and it filled theatres to their capacity in every section of the country.
All tryouts will end this week and actual rehearsal will commence next Monday. Mr. Ross requests that all Juniors appear today or tomorrow.
OF
Dean Waugh Considered Logical Man For Position in Question.
“A dean or men is absolutely a necessity at S. C. and I believe that Dean Waugh is the logical candidate for the office.” This statement by Ron Sna-vely, president of the inter-fraternity council, presents the attitude of prominent students interviewed yesterday with the exception of “Jeff” Cravath, captain of the 1926 Trojan Varsity, who characterized the idea as “all wet.”
“Jeff” Cravalh made the following statement:
“The idea is all wet. Everything is rosy as it is and we dont need a dean of men. Any man who is old enough to go to college is old enough to take care of himself. If there has to be a dean of men at all, Dean Waugh would suit me just fine.”
Don Cameron, president of the student body, said: “It is a good idea and would simplify the work now handled by Dean Waugh, Dr. von KleinSmid, Dean Crawford and other faculty members. Dean Waugh would make a fine dean of men.”
Art Syvertson, president* of the Junior class, expressed his views as follows:
“I am certainly in favor of a dean of men. At the present time, a great many matters that should be handled by a dean of men are turned over to various members of the faculty. Dr. WTaugh would make a good one.”
Lee Conti, Trojan editor, stated: “A dean of men is needed on the campus and Dean Waugh is the logical man for the office.”
Hank Le Febvre ,Trojan varsity fullback:
“I had always been under the impression that Dr. Wraugh was dean of men and I think that he should be given the title since he has served so well in that capacity.”
Hal Williamson, president of the graduate school:
‘‘Problems typical for a dean of men, such as chaperoning fraternity dances, are now sent to the dean of women. It would be much better if there were a dean of men to handle such matters.”
Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford, dean o? women:
“I hope very much to see a dean of men of the university, as I feel that it would make for a strengthening of college life and I can think of no choice happier than that of Dean Waugh.”

SIGMA DELIA PSI WILL TAKE PLAGE 8H0RILY
Hank Le Febvre, president of Sigma Delta Psi, national honorary athletic faternity, announces that plans are under way to hold examinations for candidates the week following inter-fraternity track. The Trojan campus is the only one in the W’est that boasts a chapter of this prominent fraternity, although there are several institutions petitioning. In the East, according to Le Febvre, membership in Sigma Delta Psi is the ultimate goal of every athlete.
The local chapter was installed three years ago and to date eleven Trojans have been able to pass the drastic examinations which entitle them to membership. The eleven included President Le Febvre .Secretary Yale Martz, Ben Harold, Babe Harvey, Percy Nearsback and Huber Smootz. The honorary members are Dean Cromwell, Gwynn Wilson, Warren B. Bovard, President von KieinSmid, Bill Hunter, Elmer Henderson and C. P. Nichols. There are also six candidates who have qualified and will be initiated in the near future.
Le Febvre plans to hold a regular schedule of examinations just before, the int>er-fraternity track meets. Timing in the meets will be accepted by the fraternity if the time made is equal to that required by the tests.
Initiation will be held the week after the track meets and the Sigma Delta Psi keys will be presented to those initiated.
According to President Le Febvre it is the goal of the Trojan chapter to stimulate an interest in athletics on the local campus and it is expected that membership to Sigma Delta Psi will be as much desired in the West as it is in Eastern universities.
A list of the events and a schedule will be announced in Friday’s Trojan.

VI ask all Juniors to have some definite idea of whom they wish to elect or to run before they come to the meeting,” says Art Syvertson. “Otherwise the offices will be filled at the last minute by whoever happens to be there at the time.”

La Mont to Direct 1926 Production; Chorus Tryouts Wednesday, Friday.
“Troubles of 1926,” a song and dance review ,to be directed by Grant La Mont, and produced early in March with a cast of 50 campus stars, was announced yesterday as the annual extravaganza production of the Southern California stage series.
Tryouts for the chorus and nonspeaking parts are to be held on Wednesday and Friday of next week in Bovard Auditorium, says the announcement. Two large choruses will be selected by La Mont and trained in their paces for the elaborate appearance in March. Both the men’s and girls’ choruses are to be selected impartially from those appearing next week for the tryouts.
Debate as to the auspices under which the song and dance review will be produced will be decided between the Trojan Knights and the Associated Students’ play producing fund. In former years the extravaganzas have been given by the Varsity Club.
Speaking parts are to be cast following the selection of the chorus. That there is only a thin plot running throughout the review is the word of the producers, La Mont and Ellsworth Ross. The emphasis and attraction will center about the sparkling song and elaborate dance features.
In the large budget compiled by Ross and presented to Harold Stonier, allowance is made for elaborate scenes and stage properties. “The review will consist of fourteen or fifteen different scenes,” said Ross.
Music for the “Troubles” is being compiled by Gene Johnson, composer of last year’s extravaganza hits. The script is arranged from a number of professional musical successes by Grant La Mont, director of ‘‘Troubles/* That there will be a large number of openings in the cast was the announcement of Ross and La Mont. Popular co-eds and men will be “walked across the stage” next week on Wednesday and Friday to select the best talent for the song and dance review.
